NAACP nominee and bestselling author Beverly Jenkins returns to the charming town of Henry Adams, Kansasโa place that always feels like homeโin this heartwarming story of family, friendship, and the surprises hidden in our lives.
Henry Adams has had its fair share of drama ever since Bernadine Brown bought the town with her divorce settlement. Now just when things are starting to settle down, itโs about to get crazy again . . .
Cephas Patterson doesnโt just want to be left aloneโif you dare step onto his property, heโll meet you with a shotgun and a warning to stay away from his gold. He reminds Zoey of the lonely time she spent living on the streets, so she quietly begins leaving him small offerings. But then Cephas dies and leaves a saddlebag of goldโto Zoey.
And thatโs not all. Zoeyโs parents are going through a trial separation, her former BFF Devon is giving her fits, and friend Crystal has run away from home. Then thereโs Bernadineโs mean-spirited baby sister who has arrived unexpectedly, and an ongoing battle with a neighboring town is about to heat up.
